Developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Digimon World Championship arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2008 as a simulation game.

It landed about 4 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2008 include Pokémon Platinum, Professor Layton and the Curious Village and Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Among the 89 DS simulation games in our database, it ranks #18 by legacy score.

It is part of the Digimon series; on the DS you can also try Digimon World DS and Digimon Story Lost Evolution. The series also appears on other systems with Digimon World (PS1) and Digimon World 3 (PS1). Bandai Namco Entertainment also made The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, Taiko no Tatsujin DS and Duel Love for the DS.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to think and plan
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want clear goals and a defined ending
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Digimon World Championship is like

Simulation games model a system and let you play inside it, whether that means building a city, flying a plane, raising a pet or running a business.

Tip for newcomers: Simulations are often open-ended. Set yourself small goals and enjoy experimenting with the systems.
